Bucharest, 10 th of March, 2009

The new www.cardavantaj.ro comes as a premier in the banking sector through its unique graphic concept - a virtual replica of a shop on whose shelves the visitors can discover the menus to the banking products.

The concept was based on the link between CardAvantaj and the network of partner shops where the card is being used, network in which cardholders can make payments in instalment.
"One of our main challenges was to insure a close to reality website environment where the movements made by the website visitor can look as real as possible while moving in the virtual shop from one section to another.
The web designers team customized the entire shop in 3D graphic programs so that the general aspect can be very similar with a real shop", said Mr. Omer Tetik, Vice-President, Credit Europe Bank (Romania) S.A.
Another novelty on the banking web sites market is being represented by the entertainment section which introduces ongoing promotions of Credit Europe Bank's merchant partners in an on-line game.
"Besides the graphic innovations, the new www.cardavantaj.ro website proposes an on-line application for credit cards, application which can be easily accessed by any internet user" said Mr. Omer Tetik, Vice-President, Credit Europe Bank (Romania) S.A.
The new web site addresses equally to those who want to apply for a credit card as well as to those who already own one of the four credit cards issued by Credit Europe Bank. The customers can find out information about the network of partner shops, ongoing promotions or the number of instalments available at Credit Europe Bank partner merchants.

CardAvantaj is the first credit card with national and international usage which offers to the cardholders the possibility of shopping with payment in instalments and receiving bonus for each transaction made in the country and abroad. The shopping with payment in instalments is available in the network of partner merchants of Credit Europe Bank in over 6,300 locations.Credit Europe Bank network has 118 branches and agencies, 205 ATM's and over 8,055 POS are installed at merchants.
